Experience in Bangkok, Thailand by Cecilia

What is it like to live in Bangkok? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

In the outskirts of the city, it is quite nice. There are lots of friendly people and tons of local shops. In the city has a very dense population and many international cuisine if you know your way around.

How much does it cost to live in Bangkok?

I don't know exactly how much it costs, but its definitely cheaper than Europe for students. dorms are pretty much free but to rent, it would be difficult to find cheap rent close to public transportation.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Bangkok? Is there any advice you can give?

Its very competitive, be quick and bold when trying to find a place.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

The food is the best in the world, I would say. There is so much street food for very cheap prices and they all taste delicious. For more luxurious food, you'll find many sources online that will guide you to places.

What places would you recommend visiting in Bangkok?

Pattaya, Kho Chang, Kho Tao, and basically all the major islands. If you like to party, Pattaya nightlife and Khaosan road are very popular.

Is it good to eat out in Bangkok? Can you tell us your favourite spots?

Food is absolutely amazing. every street will have at least 2 food shops.

What advice would you give future students heading to Bangkok?

Prepare to face the heat. Other than that, it's pretty chill. Thai people are mostly very nice and kind. Might wanna check the customs of Thailand before heading here, many Thai people might see your actions as rude so you wanna get a good first impression!
